 Frank Wilson's paintings spring from a life long involvement with the wilderness areas of Northern New England and more recently, in Northern California." I combine my passion for the wilds of nature with my art. This passion has greatly influenced the academic and professional directions I have taken in life. I take pride in the craftsmanship of my art as well, using only the finest archival materials.

 Byron Wolfe is currently teaching Communication Design at California State University Chico. These images were created in celebration of the University's arboretum by placing the found objects onto a large flatbed scanner. The result was a new perspective of nature not commonly seen.

 'My work reflects an interest in cultural artifacts, discarded objects, and their potential value as forms, which possess vital meaning.
I take the things that I collect and interpret them in marble. Marble can be a very seductive material; it can be warm or cold, hard or soft, tender or unforgiving. |

My exploration of photography began in High School after taking a photography class. From there I went on to be a yearbook photographer, and also contributed to the school newspaper. I took more photography courses at San Diego State University and also worked at a One-hour photo lab. I ended up at the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.- actually majoring in Photography. After studying Photography for a year and a half, I decided that it was going to be really difficult to make a living at this, and I ended up at California State University Chico. There I earned a degree in Information and Communication Studies with an emphasis in Broadcasting. While attending CSUC, I worked for the Chico News & Review as their Fashion and Advertising Photographer. I was getting paid to take pictures and it was great!, but I still couldn't make a living at it. While in graduate school, I worked in the Special Collections Department at Chico State as an Archival Photographer- copying historical photographs and making prints for the library collection. I've always felt there was a narrow gap between amateur and professional photography. With today's high-tech auto-focus cameras, it is even more so. I've taken thousands of photographs over the past 28 years, most of them on film. I'm really excited about the dawn of digital photography- it allows me to edit photographs in a way that previously, could only be dreamed about. Anyone can go out and take photographs of the same things that I do. Two main differences are that I try to wait until the weather or lighting is just how I want it (or as good as I can hope for) and I have a practiced eye for composition. I have visited some locations a half dozen times looking for just the right light. It's easy to look at a photograph and think to yourself- "I can do that", but go out and try it. It's not as easy as it looks. That's the true mark of a professional- we make the hard stuff look easy. Bob geiser Please visit my website: http://www.printroom.com/pro/geiser  |

Janet began oil painting at the age of seven with private art instruction while growing up in Los Angeles. The weekly lessons continued into high school. In college she majored in painting, printmaking and graphic design and received a BA in Art from Chico State University. Her influential instructors include Janet Turner, Marion Epting and Paul Feldhaus, with whom she worked to obtain a degree in printmaking. After graduating college she began a career in graphic design in Southern California for a major cosmetics company. Her passion for painting was rekindled upon returning to Chico in 1996. Janet paints in an expressionistic yet representational style. She works primarily in oils, pastel, and acrylic and paints “en plein air,” which means on location outdoors, as well as in her home studio. Janet also teaches art lesson to children. Janet believes the Chico area has an endless supply of interesting outlooks to capture, both in architecture and nature. Capturing the light, as it presents itself to me outdoors, is an important part of her art.”  |
